Somewhere in Nicaragua
Hey amigos. Welcome to Friday’s surf report from Colorados. The waves were a bit smaller this morning, but I think the size started to pick up some in the evening. It was really clean this AM though.
There were a few little nuggets and pipes out there, but the waves were running fast. Life behind and outside the section seemed to be the trend for most of the surfers this morning.
When it gets small like this you always want to look for the craziest and thickest double-ups you can find. Those are the waves that will open the widest and offer the most tube potential.
Boogey in the barrel!
Dani Cruche won the heat this morning. This is only one frame from the sequence, but he made a fairly deep, multi-section tube.
John paddled out for a little bit and tried his best to snag a few decent rides. It was pretty slow and small out there. He used some creativity here looking for a quick sliding 360.
The lefts were dominating the lineup again today, and luckily John managed to find a bit more opportunity to work with here.
Wham! A big end-section smack to get some payback on these small waves!
Some lazer precise Jedi form from an unknown visitor. He pushed just the right amount on his rail through this turn. Just enough and not too much.
Could you have squeezed into this one? I don’t know if I could’ve haha! That wraps up today’s action, but if Surfline is correct then we should get a bump in the size tomorrow.
RECENT REPORTS
Hey everyone! Welcome to Thursday evening’s surf report from Panga Drops. The swell height and interval were both notably higher today. So much so that most of the action was at the middle-peak, with less happening at the sandbars. Asher with a stylish entry on an outside right bomb.
Hey everyone! Welcome to Wednesday’s surf report from French Fries. The wind was very strong, but the sets were good!
Hey amigos! Welcome to Tuesday afternoon’s surf report from French Fries. The wind was strong, but the direction of the wind was fine. I’d argue there was a touch more power and consistency today, so better waves.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Hey everyone! Josh here for the next few days of the surf report. Unfortunately it appears that we will be experiencing some onshore winds for the next 5 or so days. I bet some of the keener visiting surfers will not be deterred from getting in the water though.
Welcome to the otherwise muy tarde surf report. Lo siento (sorry), it’s been much like a dog chasing its own tail today, waiting to catch that possible good or decent window of surf. But the weather reports came through on their end and it’s officially back to some onshore winds for a few days I..
Bienvenido al reporte de surf del Lunes! Yup, another week, another day of waves! Super fun consistent waist to chest + size waves on tap for today. Still a little gloomy for the most part, but the sun made a few cameos a couple times… but the most important part was all about the surf!
